HONDA CB1300 Super Four (2012-2013) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Honda CB1300 Super Four was a standard motorcycle manufactured by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer Honda, first introduced in 1998 as a successor to the CB1000 Super Four model, powered by a slightly modified X4 engine.

With a good recipe right from the start, the bike didn't receive any major upgrades over the years, except in 2008 when Honda brought minor changes such as various exhaust systems, a sports air filter, an engine management interventional auxiliary control unit from Dynojet Research, 11 mm more wheel travel on the front suspension, a five mm shorter wheelbase, and a piston on the rear brake caliper instead of two.

In 2013, Honda launched the CB1300 Super Four motorcycle that featured all the updates brought upon the 2008 model and offered strong mid-range performance and comfortable and agile handling thanks to its powerful engine and lightweight frame.

In the performance department, the 2013 Honda CB1300 Super Four had its heartbeat set by a 1,284cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that provided an output power of 114 hp with maximum strength at 7,500 rpm and 117 Nm (86 lb-ft) of torque available at 6,000 rpm.

The bike featured an ABS braking system that worked together with two 310 mm discs with four-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 256 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear wheel that provided strong braking performance.
